Damian Lillard is a popular subject as NBA trade rumors swirl this offseason.
Despite the fact that several teams are rumored to have interest in Lillard, the Trail Blazers intend to keep the All-Star point guard and are crafting a “compelling package” to acquire Heat center Bam Adebayo, according to Jake Fischer of Yahoo Sports.
However, for Miami to consider an offer for its defensive anchor, Portland would have to include shooting guards Shaedon Sharpe and Anfernee Simons and the No. 3 pick in Thursday’s NBA draft in the deal, according to Fischer.

Two high-level skill players in the NFL are still up for grabs, and if you ask them, they should be signed as a package deal.

Cook discussed his free-agency plans, speaking with ESPN-NFL insider Adam Schefter. The former Vikings RB tied his offseason plans back to Hopkins (released by the Cards in May).
College basketball fans were glued to their televisions during the Women’s Final Four. Iowa’s Caitlin Clark and LSU’s Angel Reese captivated an audience, along with South Carolina, all while UConn coach Geno Auriemma sat at home watching.
Heading into the 2023 season, Auriemma is not looking for the media to prop up his basketball team with words of encouragement. As we’ve all seen in athletics, when one team fails the previous year, some want to put different titles on what they think the next year’s team motto should be.
Former Yankees and Padres legend Dave Winfield made an eye-opening comparison between himself and Angels superstar Shohei Ohtani.
The 71-year-old boldly stated that he could have been a two-way star during his major league playing career, indicating he could have been doing “back then” what Ohtani is doing today.
In a recent interview with Kirk Kenney of The San Diego Union-Tribune, Winfield said, “Shohei Ohtani is doing today what I was doing back then. The teams didn’t have the foresight or the vision or the inspiration then.

Shannon Sharpe hasn’t been without a gig for very long, and it sounds like suitors may already be lining up.
It’s no surprise that the Hall of Famer would be in demand when it was announced he was leaving FS1’s Skip and Shannon: Undisputed.
According to Front Office Sports, Sharpe is already in talks with one of those possible landing spots: FanDuel.
The sportsbook’s media operation lost its biggest star when Pat McAfee decided to walk away from his deal and sign with ESPN. Sharpe would be a suitable big-name replacement.
